Hello, my unlocked 4a5g on Tmo is stuck on the November 2022 update. I contacted Google support, they only suggested powering off the phone or a factory reset. Powering it off didn't work and I'm not at the point yet to reset the phone. I have also tried checking for updates in Safe Mode, clearing caches, and checking for updates after taking the SIM out. It does seem like other people are experiencing this as well according to Reddit so it might be a Google or Tmo issue, but I haven't seen any news about updates being held up. Any way to verify if it's my phone or an external issue?
I have the same issue... you can sideload the images if you ae anxious.
I also have not received OTA updates since November 2022. I sideloaded the manual OTA update in December and again in January. Will I ever be able to get OTA updates again?

Did you turn off automatic system updates in developer options?

I'm sitting at December update and not getting January although my friend also on AT&T got Jan already on his 5x.
Is there a way to force it or download just the OTA update for a sideload? All I can find are full 1GB images.
Thanks

you can try check for updates option in about phone, while on WiFi. but waiting for them is usually quicker.

MMB29S from MMB29K
Good Evening! I opened this thread to ask if someone could give me an hopinion about a problem I had on mu Nexus 6 after going back to MM from Android N preview. So today I unenrolled my device and I received a Marshmallow OTA, which was said to be the last one available. But as soon as I updated my Nexus, I saw they sent me the OTA with July's Security patch. I tried to wait and see if september's update would show up but nothing in 2 days. Is it normal and have I just to wait or is it a problem? Have you had same experiences?
P.S. I wiped data and everything soon after updating back to MM.
Does it matter if it's the July patch? These security issues are not those that normally happen to users who don't download warez apps. Use Google Play, and you're safe.
But if you want the most recent version, the download the latest OTA from the Google OTA page, and sideload it.

Yes, you're actually right about it, security patches are more or less the same for normal users. Let's say, my first worry is about Android Nougat update, because my stock updater does not seem to work properly these last days after I went back to MM. So I thought it might be a matter of time.
AT&T is showing latest security update as August 2016, but I am unable to get it on my device. My phone is currently on T-mobile so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have tried updating through the phone, and also smart switch, and both say up to date. Are any others on the june security update or have you got the latest august update. Thanks in advance.

From my knowledge, you can only receive updates if you are on AT&T. To update please refer to this thread. However, flashing will result in data loss, so be sure to backup.
I've been able to get these updates even though I was on tmobile in the past. I didn't have any issues with the marshmallow update through WiFi as well, but the latest security patches have been no where to be found.

You don't want those updates trust me.
They lock your phone down from you.. the end user.
You are not any more secure with those updates.
Actually you are less secure and more prone to full identity and activity disclosure with At&t and Google's " 3rd party affiliates ".
My AT&T SGS7 edge was updated to 4BRA1 last night. Besides the January 1 Android security patch, does anyone know if there's anything else different I should notice with this update?
Not noticing anything new, although I expect if I dug deeply a few preloaded apps may have been updated. With a 40MB update, can't expect much besides the security patch.

Heres what the ATT Update site says: Android device security updates, including Meltdown and Spectre migration patches (on SPLs Jan. 1 or later)
If you ever want to check out the updates, you can always find it here: https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1135854?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG935A
Hope that helps...
Can i update from G935AUCS4API2 (6.0.1) directly to G935AUCS4BRA1 via ODIN and will it wipe my data and would you recommend to factory reset if yes then before update or after update?
Greetings, I have a Project Fi Android One X4. Two days ago I went back to Project Fi Oreo stock after being rooted in order to receive the OTA. I received the January, February, and March security updates. But once I attempt to get the April one with 8.1, the system says I am up to date. I attempted to sideload the April OTA but got the message many get about not being able to mount. I know that these updates are not rolled out all at once, but I see many here in the forum already got it. Is there any way I can force the OTA? Thanks in advance for the help!
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I had to manually flash the full 8.0 firmware after being stuck on Dec security update. Received Jan, Feb and March updates OTA without a problem. Got notification that 8.1 April was available. Phone would download the OTA but fail halfway through the installation. Did this about a dozen times. Now phone says up to date but still on March 8.0.
Probably have to wait for the full firmware file to be released and manually flash again. Sucks. Never could get ADB sideload or update from SD card to work either.

Same issue for me. The ADB sideload/SD card problem doesn't make sense.
Same here. OTA update fails during step 3. Side loading doesn't work. I reflashed 8.0 and took all three security updates again just fine. Now I'm not even offered the OTA for 8.1.
I have a theory that it was pulled due to errors.

You think the 8.1 update was pulled due to errors? I was offered the update on my stock (locked and unrooted) Project Fi X4 a week ago, and my wife's got it on Friday (3 days ago). The update process was quick and went through without issues. The phones themselves seem to be operating normally.

Have you tried MTP or ADB (with lockscreen enabled), cause this would be the first confirmed case I've seen of it working properly on 8.1 update.
Thanks for all the responses! I see that I am not the only one with this issue. I think that like jfalls63 said, of we don't get the update in the coming days we will have to wait for the full firmware release. It is not convenient since I want to root and wanted to do it in 8.1, but there is not much we can do about it if we cannot find an alternative.

You're right; I haven't had any reason to do either since the update and it wasn't until after I posted that I saw another thread mentioning this issue. Sure enough, same is true for me.
Still, the update was pushed to one of our phones only a couple of days ago, so if they pulled it, it's only been within the last 72 hours or so.
I'm experiencing a similar thing (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/help/oreo-8-1-update-stuck-loop-t3788293), so this seems to be a prevalent problem.
When I have time, I'll go through the Moto forums and see if anyone has any helpful information.
I'm on Fi and I received the 8.1 update just fine. I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet to root it, but otherwise I'm on the gravy train. Once they release a full sized firmware I plan to reflash to get my space back, and then root.
The only solution i've found to get the OTA to work (verified by others as well as my self)
Reboot after each fail and try again - if you watch the screen the % complete will increase each time before fail, eventually ending in a successful upgrade! (At which time your phone is now more secure than ever - USB file transfer won't work with a lock screen pin/pattern/fingerprint.
